I decided to post this video in honor of my dentist appointment tomorrow morning. Hopefully I'll have half as much fun as this kid did.

Taken takes viewer on a thrill ride

Moral ambiguity seems to be the order of the day in most of modern cinema (recent examples include Body of Lies, Traitor, The Dark Knight, and even Gran Torino), but for purely cathartic purposes, there's still something to be said about films -- competent ones, mind you -- in which the line between Good and Evil is drawn oh-so-clearly in the sand. Take Taken, which operates on a very simple premise: Scumbags kidnap Liam Neeson's daughter; Liam Neeson fucks them up good. Read the rest of this review here.

Push: Easy to resist its pull

If Push comes to shove, then the only sound advice is to stay away from the theater and re-watch X-Men on DVD. Certainly, that's an infinitely superior mutant movie, yet don't think Push's plagiarism ends there: It's almost a given that the pitch meeting found the film's creators, uh, pushing the picture by declaring, "It's X-Men meets Jumper meets Heroes meets The Matrix!" Had they any sense of integrity, they would have ended the sentence by adding, "Only not very exciting or enjoyable!" In short, here's another sci-fi muddle that never breaks out of its geekspeak ghetto, with David Bourla contributing an overly busy screenplay that doesn't always come together and Paul McGuigan providing draggy direction that takes this far past the point of audience involvement. Read the rest of this review here.

Get a room... or a girlfriend

Posted By on Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 2:21 PM

A 51-year-old man was arrested after getting caught getting busy with a bevy of inflatable dolls in a grocery store parking lot. Yes. I said inflatable dolls.

James Lipton is ... Christian Bale

Posted By on Fri, Feb 6, 2009 at 12:30 PM

Actor/director Christian Bale has really revealed his villainous nature with his recent highly publicized outburst. The Dark Knight star had a rather unnecessary BF (Bitch Fit) on the set of his upcoming film, Terminator Salvation. Unfortunately, there was no actual video of the incident; however, there was recorded audio. In this video, Conan O'Brien has James Lipton (of Inside the Actor's Studio fame) re-enact how it all went down on that dark night.

This commercial, created by two unemployed brothers from Indiana, stole the #1 spot from Anheuser Busch in USAToday's annual Ad Meter Super Bowl contest.

They won $1 million. Note to self: dream big.
